Bitcoin Hits New All-time high Above $77,000

by

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have witnessed numerous market cycles and trends come and go. Yet, the recent surge of Bitcoin and the unprecedented demand for Bitcoin ETFs has left me genuinely intrigued and somewhat awestruck.

On Friday night, Bitcoin reached an unprecedented peak of around $77,000, concluding a remarkable week during which it was announced that Donald Trump would once again become President. This period also saw Bitcoin setting multiple new record highs. The crypto community is hopeful that Trump’s presidency will lead to more favorable regulations for the industry, potentially accelerating its growth.

On yesterday alone, Bitcoin ETFs experienced an unprecedented surge in investments totaling approximately $1.36 billion, surpassing the previous record of $1.14 billion set in March. This isn’t a minor increase; it represents a substantial step forward.

Approximately $1.1 billion was solely contributed by BlackRock’s IBIT fund, which is almost equivalent to the combined total inflows of all 11 ETFs on their best single day. That’s correct—one fund almost reached the peak daily inflow amount of all eleven funds together!

Consequently, Blackrock’s Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) has surpassed the size of its Gold ETF. This remarkable achievement was accomplished within just ten months.

Supply Shock Incoming?

Approximately 450 Bitcoins are mined every day as a rule. Yesterday, Bitcoin ETFs used approximately 18,000 Bitcoins. This implies that the daily demand from these ETFs was around 40 times greater than the freshly-mined supply entering the market.

The equation is simple: increased demand combined with limited supply equals rising prices. As it stands now, the total inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have reached an impressive $25.5 billion—and the numbers are still climbing.
